Father of the Bride

Hm, first I'd ask him if he could wait to make an official decision until you get closer to the wedding date. You've still got 9 months to go until your wedding and things could maybe change, you know?

But livestreaming could be a good option, and maybe getting a necklace/pendant that relates to him or something you both share that you could wear on your special day?

My mother had a stroke a few years ago and is living in SC and I am in PA. She cant travel, and is living in a nursing home. We are going to Facetime her during the wedding and my sisters and I are going to go down a month before the wedding and make her feel as a part of it as we can. I am not happy about this since my father has passed away and I wont have either of my parents there. But we are going to make the best of what we have

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Maybe ask him closer to the date if he'd be willing to reconsider? You could certainly live stream/ FaceTime him in so he could still view the ceremony. I've seen lots of people have a "memorial seat" at ceremonies/ receptions for those that couldn't make it. I'm planning to have some locket-sized charms with pictures of FH's and my loved ones that passed away tied onto my bouquet.
